Do you get paid each time you type the words "corporate fascist"? Just wondering.

Funny, how you mention the fact that Dave calls Bush and Co. exactly what they are, but fail to mention the completely altruistic act of a foreign nation's socialist government doing what the government of the US should by all rights be doing.

When a foreign government gives more relief to US citizens than the US government does that act paints a pretty bleak picture of the priorities of Bush and company.

I've never known a democratic corporation and I've owned 3 of them. Albeit very small, privately owned ones. All businesses , including corporations and even co-ops to a great extent, are forms of dictatorships, which means forms of fascism. Somebody has to give the orders an there are no arguments. There's no other way, but then giving orders does have many different ways and large corporations are the biggest idiots in the field.

Corporations with large numbers of shareholders, especially when the shares are traded on the open market, are the worst forms of fascism, because their voters are not people, but the artificial entities of shares. This ain't no democracy. Except in the minds of neocons, perhaps ?

Also, when shares are bought and sold on the open markets and shareholders may hold them only for short periods, the purpose is the maximization of profits through any means, especially by stealing them from the environment, the employees and by overcharging the public. All these are bone fide, easily proven facts and thefts.

In my businesses all my employees had a chance to express their opinions, give suggestions and advice and even to swear at me when I screwed up. All major decisions over contracts and the buying of equipment were the result of meetings on the shop floor. I made the final decisions, but even the apprentices had a chance to have their inputs.

The result was that we never had any absenteeism, no accidents, no fights, the minimum staff turnover and everybody worked their asses off. It was a happy shop, we were all friends and I still get calls, saying that it was the happiest working environment they've ever worked in.

When I look at today's neocon idiots who go out of their way to screw their workers by cheating and mistreating them, and having had some long chats with both sides over these issues, my advice was to management:"Tell the guys what you want them to do, answer their questions and then get the hell out of their way!".

I estimated that in some cases production could double if they'd treated their workers like human beings.

Their reply was that they can't afford to do it, because their top management, often sitting thousands of miles away, in foreign countries, would fire them . They were hired as "managers" which meant they had to "manage" by mistreating everybody.

I knew of one case, where the replacement of a pair of eyeglasses ruined at work, written into the union master agrement, cost the company tens of thousands, by fighting it all the way, with the highest paid mouthpieces, through all the appeals, then had to buy them anyway. One lousy pair of glasses, just to show their "management" skills.

These things are happening all over the world every day, yet the idiots haven't figured it out yet that they're sawing the "stout limb" they're sitting on, because it is a historical fact that people can take only so much before they explode.


Figure this one out "individualist" .........

.....and you call yourself "individualist" when marching in lockstep with Bill O'Reilly?

Keep in mind the U.S. HAS given a lot of aid to thrid world nations, along with their imperialism. They even give complete free health care to illegal Mexicans--though not their own citizens.

Multiculturalism is neither left nor right, but rather a sickening indication of what happens when 'representative government' fails the majority.

Aid? Loans at injurious interest rates given to dictators that deposit the money in swiss bank accounts is not aid. It is a stick with which to bully other nations to your will. The interest alone completely erases most third world debtors ability to provide the most basic necessities.

Forcing starving nations to accept genetically modified foods and seeds or get nothing is not aid. It is corporate welfare for the Monsanto cartel - which has placed a large number of its executives in the whitehouse.

The US Did aid fascist guerillas in Chile and helped them murder the elected president so they could install Pinochet as absolute dictator.

The US Did aid the Shah of Iran in the 50s to overthrow the nascent democracy.

The US Did aid the Contra Rebels with their drug trafficking.

The US Did aid the Islamic Revolutionaries in Iran with weapons sales as a reward for keeping the hostages until Reagan was elected.

Ok, so there is a whole lot of US aid going to third world countries, sorry - it slipped my mind for just a moment there.
